Fickle Public Enter Mid-Week Charts @ #70

"The illegitimate lovechild of Rites Of Spring, At The Drive-In and Britney Spears".

Yes, you've read right. STA's first ever mid-week single chart position with Fickle's "Cox" single. Thanks to everyone that's made the effort to buy this week, a fantastic achievement. Tell your friends, shout it from the rooftops; who knows what could happen on Saturday morning. That's if you can get to the tills for Arctic Monkeys fans.

The band are currently on the Kerrang! Most Wanted tour with Blindside and Exit Ten. 'Bucko' the debut album will be out on March 6th - you can preview the record via the STA jukebox.

Lots of nice words being spoken about Fickle Public at the moment. The best description we've seen so far could go to UK Music Search for, "The illegitimate lovechild of Rites Of Spring, At The Drive-In and Britney Spears".

Fab review from Norman Records; staffer Brian said about the new single: "...a heavier Built To Spill to a more Drive Like Jehu/At the drive In melodic turbo Grrrr-fest. The intuitive name is possibly the most appropriate band moniker around. If these guys were less excellent careering post hardcore & more a post Interpol limpozoid dribbling coma-fest then their name would have me urinating steadily in my keks with glee. "Just Like I Got Used To Saying Courtney Cox Arquette" is the unusually ridiculous title. Cool."

Last time STA spoke to Al Fickle Public he was hungover and unable to comment on Brian's analysis.
